Description of Organisation

Transgender Victoria (TGV) was founded in the late 1990s to achieve justice, equity and quality health and community service provision for transgender people, their partners, families and friends. TGV regularly supports the work of service providers who want to ensure they are transgender aware, as well as seek ways to provide direct services to the trans community, whether in partnership with others or independently.

TGV also works with and for the transgender community to create positive change in the area of human rights and policy development. We represent the transgender community in challenging discrimination and assist in the empowerment of trans* people so that they may lead full and meaningful lives.
